Cromwell's Faustyna wins Dundalk's opener
Mulligan has claim reduced following 30th win
that's my 7lb claim gone now so hopefully it keeps going well and I have a good season. The race worked out perfectly, I let her pop out of the stalls and I got following one of the fancied ones. She took me to the furlong pole and when I went for her in the last furlong, she finished it out well. The last day she ran well but I just got a bit unlucky as I didn't get a great run and today she was coming back into a 0-60 today. I kind of fancied her today.
Inchiquin Maid secures second success
McGuinness eyes a Guineas Trial with Star Strewn
she's a very good filly and I really like her. She had solid form, but was probably a little bit immature when she ran here before Christmas. I think she could go forward and you wouldn't know where you would end up. I think she is definitely a black type filly and even more. we probably won't come back here again, we'll just put her away and go to the turf. We might run her in a Guineas Trial in Leopardstown and see how we get on after that. I think she is mature enough to go straight to Leopardstown.
'Don't win too far' as Hayes scores by a nose
Ben Lawers scales a first ‘peak’
he's a nice horse and he scoped dirty after he ran here the last day. We came back in trip today and he did everything right. He actually jumped slowly and relaxed for the first time in a race today. Keithen said he took two massive blows in the straight, so he’s going to improve no end as he was only just ready to start today. To be fair to Keithen, between himself and Sean Byrne, they ride him out every day and he is a pretty difficult ride at home, so he knows him very well. He'll have a little bit of bragging rights!. I'd say we will come back up here with him as he loves very fast ground. He's a horse that I think will keep on stepping up through the grades and he's a fun horse.
Baila Conmigo collects for Murphy and Coen
he was a little bit back in grade from the last day and he two very solid runs recently. He's a work in progress, he's coming away now and seems to handle that surface well. He's improving away. We'll see what the handicapper does and maybe come back for one more run here. He'll be a nice horse for the turf as he's a nice, big, strong horse, so he'll be grand.
